Anime Multiverse: Starting by Teaming Up with Maple, the Shield Girl! Chapter 217 217: The 41st Floor Boss Appears!

....

A mont later.

Having finished their snacks, Seito and Iori glanced at the oil on their fingertips and simultaneously turned their gaze toward Ryo Sugawara.

Whoosh—!

Without a word, they both stood up, wiped their hands clean on Ryo's uniform, and promptly returned to their seats as if nothing had happened.

"Hey, hey, hey! You two have gone too far!" Ryo slamd his palm onto the table. These two old bastards! What was the point of using his clothes as a towel?

"Ahem." Seito cleared his throat and looked toward Eli Ayase. "President, we can begin now."

"Exactly," Iori Kitahara added, nodding with deep conviction.

Ryo ground his teeth in frustration. Being ignored by both Seito and Iori made him feel like a total clown.

"Phew—"

Taking a deep breath, Eli scanned the representatives. "The School Festival is this Friday. This ti, we aren't just inviting other academies to visit; we're also inviting several mbers of the general public."

"These guests are primarily here to inspect the environnt of Sobu High. Due to the recent performance in the Great Auditorium, many parents want to see if our academy is a suitable environnt for their children."

Eli's explanation was clear. The recent performance by Muse and the others had left a strong impression, but many outsiders didn't actually know what the school was like day-to-day. The festival was the perfect opportunity for a "campus tour."

Seito rubbed his chin. "President, does every class have its own the?"

"Correct. Maid cafes, haunted houses, restaurants—whatever you like, it's up to you," Eli answered.

"Can we collaborate with other classes?" Seito asked again.

Kaguya Shinomiya, sitting beside him, turned her head. "What kind of the are you planning that requires a multi-class collaboration?"

"A haunted house." Seito flashed two rows of brilliant white teeth.

Exactly! That was his vision. However, because the workload for a truly high-quality one was massive, it would require at least two classes working in tandem.

"It's possible. Which class does 1-D plan to work with?" Eli asked.

"Class E!" Iori raised his hand imdiately.

"Agreed," Amou nodded. "Our two classes will handle the haunted house together."

Hearing this, Kaguya didn't object. A haunted house was a staple of any school festival, after all.

"Fine. Head over to Nozomi Tojo and get your thes registered," Eli instructed.

As the seniors and juniors began discussing their plans, Seito pulled Umaru Doma, Arisu Sakayanagi, and Hayato Hayama to the side.

"How about this... let's have the entire first-year floor do a haunted house. We'll make it one massive, interconnected attraction."

The three of them: "???"

"The whole year? Is that really a good idea?" Hayato couldn't help but ask.

"Absolutely!" Seito slapped his chest confidently. "I'll design the details personally. We can research tropes online—it'll be terrifying, and it'll actually save us work by centralizing the effort."

Seito was a "sunny young man," after all; hosting a haunted house was perfectly logical. But two classes weren't enough. He wanted all five first-year classes involved.

"I don't have an objection," Hayato said after a mont's thought.

"Neither do I."

"I concur."

Umaru and Arisu both agreed. A smirk tugged at the corners of Seito's mouth. Perfect! A massive, grade-wide haunted house... if they didn't scare people senseless, he would have failed.

The four returned to their seats. Seito briefed Kaguya and Amou, while Umaru and the others inford their respective classes. Everyone was on board.

The eting concluded as the third and second-year classes filled out their thes. When it was the first years' turn, Seito stood up and walked over to Nozomi Tojo.

As he picked up the pen, Seito "accidentally" brushed against Nozomi's hand. She gave him a look of playful interest as he finished writing.

Nozomi glanced at the paper and blinked.

"The entire first year is doing a single, giant haunted house?"

"Yes," Seito nodded, and the other first-year reps chid in with their agreent. Seeing their unity, Nozomi didn't press further. What they chose to host was their own business.

The eting ended, and Seito returned to class with Kaguya. Ti flowed by, the afternoon slipped away, and soon it was ti to head ho. Once they were back, they promptly logged into God Domain.

God Domain, 42nd Floor: Forest Cabin.

Seito, Maple, and Sally were inside. Seito was lounging in a rocking chair, lazily browsing a newspaper he'd bought in the 42nd floor's main NPC city. It was mostly filled with local trivia and floor-specific news.

"Seito-kun, are we not going to grind today?" Maple asked, sipping so black tea.

"Not today," Seito shook his head. "Taking a day off won't hurt."

Maple and Sally nodded. Their levels were already incredibly high; skipping a day of grinding wasn't a concern.

Whoosh—

Suddenly, a pillar of light erupted inside the cabin. The three of them looked over as Haruno Yukinoshita materialized. Her expression was grim as she looked straight at Seito.

"The 41st Floor Boss has appeared."

"!!!"

Seito shot to his feet. What was going on lately? First the 28th, now the 41st?

"Give the details." Seito summoned his Space Dragon Blade, gripping it tightly.

"It was discovered by our guild officer, Drunkard, while he was leveling with so mbers on the 41st floor," Haruno explained. "The Boss is called [Arnot the Minotaur]. It has overwhelming attack power and a 'Health Lock' ability!"
